I am looking for a good quality thermal paste-wanted to go for noctua nt h1, but its a tad expensive at around rs 1000(on amazon).

I found some cheaper options such as corsair tm30, and arctic mx 2. Are these decent alternatives as compared to the noctua nt h1. Which one among the 2 is more effective?

get Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut or Kryonaut.

@topgear ; @whitestar_999 I want to buy a thermal paste immediately. Our local area computer shop says that they have local manufactured thermal paste,that costs Rs.30.00 only. Shall I go for it?
Or shall I buy from the likes of CoolerMaster, DeepCool or Arctic silver?

Use toothpaste or peanut butter (which ever you have in home) instead of wasting 30 rs.
You live in Kolkata, right? Check with vedant and mdcomputers for Noctua NT-H1 for ~450 (ordered it yesterday from primeabgb) or Cooler Master MasterGel Maker Nano for 360 (if they have old one in stock) or 560-600 (for new version with flat nozzle)

In fact already ordered 2 set of Cooler Master MasterGel Cpu Cooling Thermal Paste MGX-ZOSW-N15M-R1 from MD Computers Pvt. Ltd. Product coming on the way to my House(after DELIBERATE REQUEST AND PLEADING).:agreed:
I want it TODAY ONLY not tomorrow.
Total Cost Rs.598.00 for the 2 sets.:D:wink:

That is not a good option to be honest. :|
Get MGZ-NDSG-N15M-R1 or MGZ-NDSG-N15M-R2

Sorry buddy,already purchased that.
Why? Is this also on the Rs.30.00 range of cr@p products(Thermal Paste)?
M.D. Computer's site reviews shows this to be a good product.
Thermal conductivity > 5 W/m-K

I actually swear by Thermal Grizzly Aeronaut. Costly, and takes a while to arrive, but totally worth it.
Its conductivity (8.5 W/mk) is similar to NT-H1 and lower than CM Nano (11 W/mk) and Kryonaut (12.5 W/mk). I think you can get Kryonaut for 800-900 easily though I don't think it is good for laptops because of uneven mounting pressure.

You can get better products. 5 W/m-k isn't good, it is below average. Average would be 8.5 W/m-k. Most brands are either moving towards nano diamond based pastes having >=11 W/m-K or making their own liquid metal ones with >70 W/m-k.

But 5W/m-k should be alright for low end/older laptop models,right?

Can't say anything unless I've verified for myself. I remember applying Deepcool Z5 on my father's Dell N5110 an year ago. It is bad and I'd replace it with NT-H1 as soon as it arrives. Also, ordered 240GB BX500. I know that isn't a good option for new build but is good enough for 8 year old laptop and would outlast it.

I am currently using a cheap local thermal paste as a stop gap for my old laptop. hwinfo shows 34-36C at 2300rpm fan for avg cpu usage ~15% for 4th gen i3 m.
